The Internet can be a great resource when performing research for a paper. Just as when you retrieve information from a book, journal article or other resource, you must cite the website at the end of your research paper. Citing websites is fairly simple regardless of what style you use. All of the information you need to cite the website should be located right on the web page. Step 11Begin by writing the author of the title. Do this all the way in the left margin. The author should be written last name then first name. Place a period after the name. Step 22Write the title of the web page next to the author's name. The title of the web page should be in quotations. Remember that this is the title of the page, not the entire website. Step 33Place the title of the website next to the web page. You can either underline the title or place it in italics or quotations. The title of the website can also be written in the next line, directly underneath the author. Place a period after the website title. Step 44Put the date the piece was published directly after the website title. This can be the full date or just the year. Place a period after the date. Step 55Write the publisher name right after the date. The publisher is not the same as the title author. You will typically only find a publisher if you are on an academic website. Place a period after the publisher. Step 66Add the date you visited the website right after the name of the publisher. You should write the number first, then the month and then the year. Place a period after the date. Step 77Finish by putting the URL right after the date. When you're done, it should look something like this:
